Obvious to everyone (except to the pundits ) is how a celebrity of Lisa’s star quality is the only type of candidate that can:-

(1) shut up the local PNP activists who want Sheree Brown-McDonald, the wife of their local don, to run but who will likely get overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of “the people” for the “pretty lady” – call this the “Joan Gordon-Webleyeffect”

(2) get the votes of the average St. Ann voter who would rather go and meet Lisa Hanna than some experienced politician any day of the week

(3) completely mess with the JLP plans to bring back Lisa’s ex-husband, David Panton, now a resident of Atlanta, Georgia…..

Seems Bob Woolmer wasn’t murdered…..but as far as bad/dire/totally awful publicity for Jamaica goes, he might as well have been……please note that the two gentlemen already selected as fall guys (the pathologist Dr. Seshaiah and DCP Mark Shields) are “from foreign”…. God forbid that any native-born Jamaican policeman or pathologist should be embarrassed…..Rely on the rumour mills to come up with a whole new set of conspiracy theories based on the Indian-born pathologist, Dr. Seshaiah, being so instrumental in the shaming and blaming of the Pakistani team……

Our very own convicted Muslim preacher of hate, Abdullah al-Faisal comes home……local Muslims decide NOT to pre-judge him based on his past behaviour….. Given how adept we Jamaicans already are at killing our fellow Christians, it seems that we just can’t work up much anxiety about the rhetoric of this famous deportee……
